India’s Ishan Kishan remains at the top of the ICC men’s T20I batting rankings, while England captain Harry Brook has climbed five places to a career-best fourth after the home series against Sri Lanka.
Brook scored 114 not out in the first match in Southampton and finished with 170 runs to be named Player of the Series in England’s 3-0 win. He is the top-ranked Test batter and has moved up three places to 12th in the ODI list, which puts a top-10 place in all three formats within reach.
Jos Buttler, who made 172 runs in the series, is up two places to fifth.
Indian movers
India captain Shreyas Iyer is up seven places to joint-22nd in the batting list. Among bowlers, Axar Patel has climbed 12 places to 15th and Ravi Bishnoi five places to 35th. India’s players also moved up in last week’s update.
Abrar Ahmed takes over at No. 1
Pakistan leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed is the No. 1 T20I bowler for the first time, on 736 points. Rashid Khan slipped one point behind him after a poor last match against India, ending six months at the top.
